Lamb meatballs with a lemon sauce served over rice and Greek Spinach cups.
Spinach cups ( from http://greekfood.about.com/od/vegetarianrecipe1/tp/bestvegrecipes.htm) I've made some changes
2. In a frying pan heat 1/2 of the oil .
3. Then add the the sliced onion and sliced leek and cook until they start to brown. It should take 4 or 5 minutes.
4. Add the spinach, mushrooms and the rest of the olive oil. Cook that for another 5 or so minutes. Spinach should be tender when done.
5. Take all of the mixture from the pan and let sit until cooled.
6. Add the cheeses, eggs and the salt and pepper and mix well. Fill your bowls with an even amount of spinach mixture in each.
7. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. It'll puff up nicely.
Yummmmy Yummmy!

Tina has a pot of Beef barley soup on the stove.
Just a 4 Qt. pot as a cooking vessel .
I have some meatball mix thawed out..I want fried meatballs, and there is 5 links of hot sausage. I may make a sort of seafood stew, and then cut up the fried sausage in 1" pieces and throw that in the stew.
I have muscles, and a can of clams. Canned peppers are in the canning jar from last year...so that sounds like a go.

I made tuna salad for the family. They had it on kaiser rolls.
I made myself a grilled cheese - 1 thin slice velveeta, 1 thin slice american cheese, 1 thin slice muenster cheese and a sprinkle of fine shredded cheddar cheese. Melted butter in cast iron pan then sandwich browned nicely on first side then lefted and more butter added then sandwich turned and browned nicely on the other side.

Ooooo! That sounds good peep..
I just learned something about the butter and the pan toasting of a grilled cheese.
I usually butter the bread on each slice on one side..then assemble the cheese and or with ham or tomato, and the butter gets all over my dish and hands. L O L
Your method sounds less sloppy. Hmmm.
OMG..I'm wishing for a fried kaiser roll in butter...or a fried bagel. Um!
Thank you Jimmy. It LOOKED good. I really couldn't taste it.
Yes I like to get the pan really hot then add the butter and melt it. Then add the sammie. Sometimes I just put 2 pats of butter (separated) on the uncooked top side then just flip it and move it around till butter melts.
I had my sammie a few hours ago and am thinking of making another. LOL

It was a nice day for eating and cooking!
DW made a awesome Beef barley Soup..
DD was over, and she was feeding one of her doe's apples and bread.
I just fried up some meatballs...They were nibblers, and of the 12..there are 5 left. Ha Ha ha
I've got hot sausage frying for a meal tomorrow. I will add some peppers, and potatoes..and see what happens.
The ultimate make of the day..... DD went out to walmart and picked up a Christmas Tree for the kitties.
DD loves the Christmas season, and decorating.
I say it's TOO EARLY!... But...that's my baby.

I make something similar to this frequently - it's one of our go-to faves. I make ground-turkey meatballs that I bake in the oven & then simmer in jarred "turkey gravy" with the jar rinsed out with a little dry sherry. Then when I cook the egg noodles, I add in a couple of handfuls of fresh broccoli florets just a couple of minutes before the noodles are done. With a nice green salad on the side, delicious!
In fact, I just happen to have some ground chicken & some fresh farmers market broccoli in the fridge, & egg noodles in the pantry. May just have to pick up some gravy & have this for dinner some time this week.
